Disappointingly, after receiving my Ooma today, I read in the manual that the system is NOT recommended for satelite TV systems. I only need to allow the Dish TV receiver to dial out periodically (at night when the phone is otherwise not being used).

Has anyone tried and got this to work? Is it possible? I don't want to maintain a land line just for that. I thought Ooma would allow that, since it claims to work with fax machines.

It will likely work if you connect to the hub as opposed to the scout. However, YMMV... Also, if you have issues try having the Dish dial *99 as a prefix since this will force the ooma to use a non-compressed codec that may be more successful. All you can do is give it a try and see if it works!

Well, the Dish TV receiver is in one room, and the hub is in another room (with the broadband/router).

I run a cordless phone system into the hub right now. Could I run a standard telephone wire from the Dish TV receiver into the room with the hub, and then use a "two into one" phone connector (letting you plug two phones into one jack and included with the Ooma package) and then plug the Dish TV phone plug and the cordless system plug both into the hub?

I'm pretty sure the Dish TV receiver lets you have it dial a prefix when dialing out.

I'm in a boat similar to you Rob - but I'm a DirecTV customer. From what I've read, if my DirecTV box has Internet connectivity (which mine does), it should be able to "phone home" that way, and the telephone line isn't really necessary (although DirecTV tells you they require it). I haven't tested it out though. I don't know if Dish can connect in the same way, but that may be something to consider.
